Chapter 261 Please, Sir, Go to Your Death (gogo quick order)

Although Lu Yao had discussed the development of a lithography machine with Jian Xiaojie several months ago, Jian Xiaojie felt that it would be difficult, but she still went ahead with it despite the numerous difficulties.

Using her connections and resources, she began to place people in the upstream and downstream of the lithography machine industry chain as much as possible. Although she also began to place people in ASML, she made advance arrangements to contact ASML's management or technical backbone.

However, this approach takes a long time to yield results.

Investment also needs to be made over a long period of time.

Lu Yao and Jian Xiaojie were aware of this, so after the matter was arranged, everyone tacitly refrained from urging it and instead focused on their own areas of expertise.

Then Lü Yao set his sights on Samsung.

They connected with Lee Yong-jin, who desperately needed allies, and then they went to Silla. However, things didn't go as planned, and Lü Yao, by using Silla as a pawn, managed to turn all the arrangements around ahead of time.

Even his plan to establish CJ Electronics in Silla now felt perfectly natural.

The widespread rumors in China that "Lu Yao is the illegitimate son of Samsung's former owner" made all of this seem even more plausible... At this point, Lu Yao even considered forging a DNA test certificate for himself.

It has to be said that the Chinese internet industry is truly a breeding ground for talent.

A blogger previously delivered a sharp blow to Tencent with an article titled "Leave the Work to WeChat".

Then another imaginative netizen chimed in to help...

Lu Yao didn't know whether to thank the Chinese netizens for their creativity or marvel at the Dongda people's ingenuity in stirring up trouble.

With everything now in order, Lü Yao lay comfortably on Jian Xiaojie's lap, when he suddenly felt as if two heavy dark clouds were pressing down on him.

When Lü Yao said he couldn't even see Jian Xiaojie's face, Jian Xiaojie said somewhat smugly, "Then where do you want to see? Her face?"

Lu Yao flipped over and tackled Jian Xiaojie to the ground, laughing, "Now you can see everything."

Jian Xiaojie let out a hearty laugh: "So that's how you see it?"

Although it was daytime, and she was in the living room, with Lin Yongzhen and even Ni Hui still upstairs, Jian Xiaojie didn't care at all.

She was a loyal and extreme hedonist.

Even if Ni Hui stops when she hears the noise, she will just smile and do jump rope exercises, and then invite Ni Hui to join in.

But instead, Lü Yao released his hold on Jian Xiaojie and sat back down on the sofa, saying, "Don't stop your arrangements in Europe and America."

Jian Xiaojie also sat up and tucked her messy hair behind her ears, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, never put all your eggs in one basket is a principle I was taught to learn before I even started working."

As she spoke, she sat on Lu Yao's lap like a duck: "I can tell that Li Rongzhen is really interested in you. Although she may not be so delicious to you, you don't have to look down on her."

Li Rongzhen has already brought them many surprises.

This is a very good piece.

Even if CJ Electronics does develop successfully in the future and the corresponding technology is transferred to China by Lü Yao, Samsung Group can still provide them with tremendous help and support.

Lü Yao pursed his lips: "Yes, I know what I'm doing."

"Oh~~" Jian Xiaojie couldn't help but lift Lü Yao's chin: "Look at how wronged you look."

Jian Xiaojie gently hugged Lü Yao, all her unruliness and recklessness vanishing. At this moment, she seemed like the most gentle and understanding older sister: "Don't worry, I'll make it up to you~"

Held in Jian Xiaojie's arms, Lü Yao uttered a muffled and labored sound: "I... I'm having trouble breathing. Get off me."

Jian Xiaojie's pretense lasted no more than three seconds. Lü Yao's resistance only fueled Jian Xiaojie's interest: "I won't."

She hugged him tighter.

……

After dealing with the pent-up emotional stress with Jian Xiaojie and the others, Lü Yao continued to throw himself into his work.

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is under active development, and the development progress is already in the mid-stage. The product's marketing has also been announced. As Lu Yao suggested to Li Rongzhen, Li Rongzhen has already begun to make arrangements in full swing.

Samsung Group's internal supply chain was designed to facilitate the product's development, so Lü Yao could not interfere, and Li Rongzhen had no intention of integrating Lü Yao into their group's internal industrial supply chain.

For any company, the supply chain is a crucial element for survival.

Even if you can't manage it yourself, you should entrust it to someone you can trust and who is capable enough. Otherwise, if there are problems in the supply chain, the products facing the customers will have problems, whether it's quality or price, which will be fatal in future market competition.

The days when foreign companies could easily make money in the Dongda Market by simply throwing out some low-quality goods will become increasingly rare in the future.

As an international conglomerate, Samsung's products are sold worldwide, especially in the European and American markets, making the supply chain even more crucial.

However, Samsung Group's supply chain is not entirely without opportunities, especially in terms of product supply to Dongdaemun...

Before 2015 to 2018, the products sold to Dongda University were "specially supplied" by foreign companies and were "cut-down" versions. That was almost an open secret internationally. It was precisely because of this arrogance that Li Rongzhen had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Although Lee Yong-jin was evasive and secretive in his conversation with Lü Yao, Lü Yao was aware of his tactics even if Lee Yong-jin didn't explicitly state them. Furthermore, he had no particular interest in Samsung's internal supply chain.

On the other hand, Li Rongzhen's exclusion of Liang Bosong finally began.

Actually.

Since Mr. Liang Bosong helped Samsung break through the 14nm chip manufacturing process in 2014, his voice in Samsung Group's chip technology research and development department has been continuously suppressed.

On one hand, the technical team of Samsung Group's local division has been fighting against Mr. Liang Bosong.

When former Samsung chairman Lee Kum-seok was in charge, he was able to suppress the opinions of Samsung Group's local technical team. But now Lee Jae-young is in charge, and in order to secure his position as Samsung's chairman, he will naturally try to win over these local technical backbones.

On the other hand, Samsung Group needs to spend a huge amount of money to win over various parties in the succession battle.

Therefore, the funding allocated to semiconductor chip research has become increasingly scarce.

The last point of contention concerns the technical approach.

Since Samsung Group hired Mr. Liang Bosong at a high salary, Mr. Liang has been using his "fin field-effect transistor" to advance chip manufacturing processes. However, within Samsung Group, the local technical team prefers to use the more advanced EUV lithography machine and adopt the gate-all-around transistor process to advance chip manufacturing processes.

This is not simply a debate over technological approaches; it involves enormous interests.

Therefore, Samsung's local technical team has always resisted Mr. Liang Bosong's team.

Regardless of stance, ethnicity, technology, or even the interests involved, Mr. Liang Bosong's research team has had a very difficult time in Silla.

Before Li Zairong took office, Mr. Liang Bosong was still able to advance technology and reach new heights with limited resources.

However, as the battle for the Samsung Group's inheritance progressed, Mr. Liang Bosong's situation became increasingly difficult.

When Li Rongzhen, at Lü Yao's instigation, targeted Mr. Liang Bosong's team again, Mr. Liang Bosong felt the intense pressure—their research projects were always delayed, their research funding applications were always rejected, and even the time they had to use the materials and equipment in their laboratory was severely limited.

This means that Mr. Liang Bosong's team is almost unable to carry out routine research activities.

But these are all just external difficulties.

What troubled Mr. Liang Bosong and his colleagues the most was the psychological pressure.

Although Professor Yang Baek-song was a professor on secondment at Sungkyunkwan University, their daily work location was actually a laboratory in the Samsung Group's semiconductor industrial park, where Professor Yang Baek-song and his team had to contact researchers from local technology teams.

The characteristics of the Silla people... are truly "well-known" on an international level.

In any matter involving competition, the people of Silla can always make you feel extremely disgusted.

The field of scientific research is too difficult for most ordinary people to access, but we can get a glimpse of it from Silla's sportsmanship.

Adding to this, the Silla people's hierarchical concepts and cliquishness, which they haven't been able to shake off even in the new century, Samsung's local technical team has been mocking, belittling, and even suppressing Mr. Yang Baek-song's team on various occasions.

Previously, everyone could tolerate it because of the high salaries.

However, recently, Samsung Group's semiconductor chip research team has become increasingly outrageous, even resorting to direct personal insults and workplace bullying.

In the past few days, all the senior executives in Mr. Liang Bosong's team have been raising this issue with him, and several researchers have even submitted their resignations to Mr. Liang Bosong, wanting to find other opportunities.

Those who could follow Liang Bosong were all experts in the field of semiconductor research.

Talented people like them would be treated like VIPs anywhere.

Even if they followed Liang Bosong to switch jobs and were labeled as "technological mobilityists," it didn't matter to those companies that were already lagging behind in semiconductor research.

Intel, UMC, the semiconductor research company of Tokyo University, and even TSMC, which they defected from, were all willing to take them back.

There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
If it weren't for the influence of Liang Bosong, many members of the team might have left long ago.

Seeing things develop to this point, Liang Bosong became increasingly anxious. He asked the technicians around him to wait a little longer and be patient. He promised to come up with a better way to make the most of everyone's knowledge.

Mr. Liang Bosong was an extreme advocate of technological progress, and those who could work around him were all researchers with similar traits.

In reality, researchers at their level are not short of money. What they want more is to be remembered in history, to leave their names in the history of human science and technology, and in textbooks on semiconductor research.

They are all top talents nurtured by human society.

They have the right to have such ambitions.

That's why they were willing to follow Liang Bosong, willing to compete with local technocrats in a foreign land, and endure their difficulties and disdain.

Mr. Liang Bosong's team has been subjected to unfair academic treatment. Even though almost all of their research projects have come to a standstill, the suppression and bullying from Samsung's local technology team has not stopped.

This situation continued until late August.

A heated argument and conflict broke out at Samsung Group's semiconductor research center. In the midst of the heated argument, an elderly member of Samsung's local technical team slapped a senior executive in Liang Bosong's team across the face.

This slap completely strained the atmosphere between the two parties. Mr. Liang Bosong personally intervened, demanding that the elderly technician apologize and provide compensation. However, the other party arrogantly rejected all of Mr. Liang Bosong's reasonable requests.

This made Mr. Liang Bosong so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

At this time, Mr. Liang Bosong was 63 years old. Faced with such rude and contemptuous workplace bullying, he directly led the entire team to stop working until Samsung Group's senior management responded to the matter.

But Mr. Liang Bosong and his team stopped working for a day...

Two days...

Three days...

Mr. Liang Bosong has yet to receive any statement from Samsung Group executives.

This made Mr. Liang Bosong's heart grow colder day by day.

But on August 25th, he received a special visitor.

……

Lü Yao, accompanied by Jian Xiaojie and Lin Yongzhen, arrived at Mr. Liang Bosong's residence under the protection of Xu Shuncai and his men.

Mr. Liang Bosong did not know Lü Yao and was not very clear about Lü Yao's past. He only knew that Lü Yao was the person in charge of the recent semiconductor strategic layout of CJ Group, and CJ Group had never been involved in the semiconductor industry before.

Therefore, Liang Bosong guessed Lü Yao's purpose and personally received Lü Yao and his party.

According to the information, Mr. Liang Bosong is over sixty years old this year, but he still has a head of black hair. Judging from his appearance, he does not look like a man in his sixties. He looks at most like a man in his early fifties.

Upon seeing this leading figure in the semiconductor research field, Lü Yao excitedly went over to shake hands with him and said, "Mr. Liang, I've long admired your name."

Mr. Liang Bosong smiled and said, "You're too kind. Please sit here."

Liang Bosong guessed Lü Yao's purpose, but in reality, he was not optimistic about Lü Yao and the semiconductor strategic layout that Lü Yao was in charge of coordinating. CJ Group had almost nothing and was just an empty shell. How could they support their research?

However, Mr. Liang Bosong still received Lu Yao and his group. His purpose was simple: to create anxiety and pressure for Samsung's senior management.

But as soon as Lü Yao sat down, he stared at Mr. Liang Bosong with a half-smile and said, "Mr. Liang, how have you been lately?"

Mr. Liang Bosong is a person with a strong sense of self-respect, and at the same time, he is a very stubborn and reserved person.

Such people often have delicate and sensitive hearts. For them, worldly benefits are enough; what they care more about is how others perceive them and how the world evaluates them.

This is also why he left TSMC and went to Samsung.

Although TSMC did not put Mr. Liang Bosong in the position of Vice President of R&D at the time, it later planned to put him in charge of the "Beyond Moore's Law Project". However, Mr. Liang Bosong was not satisfied with this and felt that it was a plan to sideline TSMC. Therefore, he left TSMC in anger and resolutely.

However, the person who succeeded Mr. Liang in charge of this project eventually became the president of TSMC.

This shows that TSMC really didn't intend to sideline Mr. Liang Bosong back then...

Even from a future perspective, Lu Yao still cannot clearly know TSMC's original intentions. Perhaps after Mr. Liang Bosong took on that project, he would really be sidelined.

Perhaps Mr. Liang Bosong's true original intention was simply to shrink the process depth of transistors...

Or perhaps there's something about this that outsiders don't know.

In any case, Liang Bosong and another group of people at TSMC were at odds. This discord could not be summarized as simply a difference in technical approaches or poor interpersonal relationships.

But no matter what, that's definitely Liang Bosong's personality.

And this kind of personality...

Lü Yao can be used.

Seeing Lü Yao's ambiguous smile, strange tone, and greeting, Mr. Liang Bosong immediately showed strong dissatisfaction. He frowned and said, "I haven't been doing very well lately."

Lu Yao continued with a smile, "I did help you with your recent troubles."

ha?
Mr. Liang Bosong's eyes widened in disbelief.

What does his recent ordeal have to do with him? Could it be that this young man orchestrated the bullying of them by Samsung's semiconductor R&D department in an effort to poach him from CJ Electronics? But how could that be?

He's an outsider, with no connections or background... how could he possibly mobilize so many people in Samsung Group's semiconductor R&D department?

Liang Bosong immediately rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Lu Yao's smile vanished as he said, "I not only orchestrated your recent ordeal, but I also have the mission to eliminate you and make you disappear forever."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bosong felt no fear, but rather found it absurd and laughable.

"Make me disappear forever?"

"So their visit this time wasn't to poach my employees, but to kill me?"

In this situation, people do indeed feel a sense of disbelief and absurdity.

But seeing Lü Yao's serious expression and the few capable and agile men who came with him, Mr. Liang Bosong subconsciously began to panic... The other party didn't seem to be joking.

Mr. Liang Bosong immediately tensed up and moved back a little, then remembered that this was his home. His home had surveillance cameras and visitor records, and this was in broad daylight! So Mr. Liang Bosong quickly calmed down, and his expression was already very unpleasant: "Mr. Lü, the joke ends here. Please leave."

Lu Yao didn't bluff or say anything more, but simply raised his hand.

Lin Yongzhen, who was behind him, immediately took out a paper contract from her bag and handed it to Mr. Liang Bosong.

Mr. Liang Bosong took the contract and his brows furrowed. When he read the contents, his pupils dilated in shock.

absurd!

mess!

It’s simply heartbreaking!
This is actually a cooperation agreement based on killing other people!

This kind of thing...

Can you really take this kind of thing seriously?

Mr. Liang Bosong was squeaking the contract in his hand. Seeing this, Lü Yao reminded him, "Mr. Liang, don't tear this contract. It will be very useful in the future."

Mr. Liang Bosong, however, shrank back while holding the contract and threatened, "Don't do anything reckless, this is illegal. If I hand this over to the police, you'll all go to jail."

Lu Yao chuckled and said, "If you show this to the police, do you think they'll believe you? But don't be nervous, we're not here to harm you."

Mr. Liang Bosong still didn't relax: "So, what do you want to do?"

Lu Yao said earnestly, "I want you to see the truth."

Liang Bosong was stunned, then frowned and asked, "The truth? What truth?"

Lu Yao stood up and said to Mr. Liang Bosong in a serious tone, "I am here today not on behalf of CJ Electronics, but on behalf of Weiguang International Technology Co., Ltd., which was acquired by the Rong family. We would like to invite you to serve as the senior R&D president of Weiguang International and take full responsibility for the upgrading and R&D of Weiguang International's semiconductor chip industry."

Mr. Liang Bosong breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out they were just trying to poach his employees.

But what kind of company is Microlight International?
He'd never even heard of it...

However, SMIC, a subsidiary of Southeast University, has been in contact with him.

Mr. Liang Bosong slammed the contract in his hand onto the table and demanded, "Then what's going on with this?"

Lu Yao then told Mr. Liang Bosong everything behind the scenes sincerely, honestly, and without reservation, even the details of his plan to poach Mr. Liang Bosong.

After listening to Lü Yao's account, Mr. Liang Bosong was somewhat dumbfounded.

In academia, he is indeed a leading figure, whose word is law.

But when it comes to scheming and manipulating people's hearts, even a bundle of Mr. Liang's brains is no match for Lü Yao's. And the layers of planning and deception involved... made Mr. Liang Bosong gasp in shock.

How can people's hearts be so twisted and terrifying?

Lu Yao used the inheritance dispute between Lee Yong-jin and Lee Jae-yong to get involved in the mess at Samsung Group. He then attracted the attention of CJ Group by releasing information about his falling out with Lee Yong-jin. He then persuaded CJ Group to enter the semiconductor industry and tricked Lee Yong-jin into ostracizing him and even trying to get rid of him.

Finally, this young man came before me with all his plans and evidence, revealing everything...

Liang Bosong looked at Lü Yao with a gloomy face: "Mr. Lü, what exactly do you want? A normal job offer doesn't need to be so complicated. You can just have someone talk to me directly. Actually, I am optimistic about the future development of Dongda University and am willing to consider developing my career there."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "It's different. Whether it's external or internal, there are too many obstacles preventing you from developing more advanced technologies at Dongda University."

Mr. Liang Bosong certainly knew that, in fact, when he left TSMC, his first choice for development was National Taiwan University.

However, constrained by international trade rules, he had to compromise and eventually accepted Samsung's invitation.

However, after he joined Samsung and helped them break through the 14nm chip manufacturing process, the company quickly showed its attitude of discarding him after using him, which was extremely short-sighted.

Of course, this is also related to Samsung's own considerable technological capabilities.

Lu Yao continued to persuade him, "Everything I did before meeting you was so that you could focus wholeheartedly on climbing the peak of technology and pluck the pearl of technological excellence."

Liang Bosong became interested: "I understood the beginning, but what about the end? What are you going to do?"

Lu Yao said seriously, "Later, I plan to kill Liang Bosong."

This move is called—

"Please, sir, go to your death."
